Good on you. I wasn't really close to my father growing up (anger issues bad enough to about end the marriage and alienate his only child for many years). Now he's had to failed knee surgeries so I've moved back to run the garage while I go to school.

Truth be told, if he did more physical therapy he could get a lot more range of motion back than he has in his knee and be a happier person for it. His body builds way more scar tissue that it needs to and so physical therapy is very difficult for him. The doctors told him that, and he understood it as physical therapy won't do any good so he doesn't try because it hurts.

I love him, but in some ways he disappoints me. The knee has made him old before his time. He used to be stubborn about getting something done if he could, now he's stubborn about finding ways to be lazy.
